our design approach in 4 points

SPACE, FUNCTION AND MODERN LIFE

Imaginative and functional spatial organisation to fit the needs and aspirations of contemporary life, whether rethinking old buildings or creating new projects.

LIGHT AND VIEWS

Open, flexible, sun-lit spaces connecting intelligently between interior and exterior.

TIME AND PLACE

Whether designing within traditional surroundings or creating a contemporary house from scratch, we aim to work creatively with context and place, making site specific buildings which are rooted within their context and avoid passing fashions.

sustainablility and the economy of means

When designing, we think about the future, creating flexible spaces that can be transformed with minimal effort for future needs. Sustainability is inherent in the way we build, from fundamental considerations such as orientation, shade, natural ventilation and appropriate local materials, to incorporating new technologies and working with local specialists and artisans.
